Even though SMGL relies on bash, apparently some scripting should be 
portable. 
Are there other areas than profile.d where this should apply? How about 
init.d?

I'm not a big fan of portable scripts myself. That's because bash is in many 
cases much faster than most other shells. If it would be possible to enforce 
an all-bash environment I would be for it, but I assume that isn't compatible 
with our philosophy.

While you're at it, have you checked if [[ ]] is used by other shells? I have 
the impression that it is a bashism. I myself use it every time, because it's 
about 20 % faster than [ ] (iirc).

I think we should have a wiki page about where scripts should be portable. 
Would prevent me from screwing those things. :)
